#beautifulviews #schöneAussichten

🇬🇧 It's a common thread throughout our vacations: the photo theme 'beautiful views'. We took this one near Ambelos.

🇩🇪 Es ist ein roter Faden durch unsere Urlaube: das Fotothema 'schöne Aussichten'. Dieses Bild entstand auf Samos.

#Photography #PhotoHour #Greece
A photo of a small plateau with a bench, surrounded by trees on the left and right that provide shade. From this bench, there is a beautiful view of the Aegean Sea and the coast of Turkey. The plateau is not far from the large parking lot at Ambelos on the north coast of the Greek island of Samos. We have included this place in our ongoing series "beautiful views".

'Omas / Opas Schätze'

🇩🇪 Vergiss nicht, woher du kommst.

Ich habe meine Wurzeln (tief) in Zeeland. Dieses 'Zeeuwse knoopje' gehörte zu den charakteristischen Schmuckstücken in der Zeeuwse Tracht. Diese Ring wurde von meiner Großmutter getragen.

#FotoVorschlag #Photography #PhotoHour #thewildimages
A lying photo. In this photo, I hold a gold ring with a so-called 'Zeeland knot' between my thumb and index finger. This was characteristic of the now largely disappeared traditional clothing in the province of Zeeland (the Netherlands). The knot is round, has a small ball in the middle that is surrounded by eight small balls.

'Omas / Opas Schätze'

🇩🇪 Aus dem Dachboden meiner Eltern: Seifenstücke, mindestens 70 Jahre alt. „Denn“, riet meine Oma, „die kannst du in Notzeiten immer verwenden. Hände waschen, Geschirr spülen, um die Wäsche zu machen...' (zeep=Seife)

#FotoVorschlag #Photography #PhotoHour #thewildimages
A lying photo. Four elongated pieces of soap are depicted, although only the packaging is visible. They are, among others, the (Dutch) brands Sunlight and Condor and are probably around 70 years old. We found them with dozens of others in a chest in the attic of my parents. Because they are multifunctional in times of need: to wash yourself with, to clean with, but also to do the laundry with (grated).

#ArtAdventCalendar 3/24 a recent night photo i like a lot. #photography #phoneography #eastcoastkin
A color photo of an intersection at late evening, almost night. The intersection is empty except for a car approaching from the far right. There is a stop sign and wires stretching overhead. A streetlight on the right creates a diffuse ball of orange light. Beyond the street is water, and on the horizon lights are reflected in the water. The scene is quiet and a little melancholy.

It was pouring rain when I was in Quebec City. I couldn’t play up the color, but I did wonders with the gloom…

'Nah dran'

🇩🇪 Wenn diese Türklinke nur sprechen könnte. Wer eine Hand auf ihn legte. Die Tür öffnete. Durch ihn eine andere Welt betrat...

🇬🇧 If this door handle could tell. Whoever laid a hand on it. The gate opened. Entered another world through it...

#FotoVorschlag #Photography #PhotoHour
A standing photo. This shows a part of a weathered, wooden door or gate. In the middle, a beautifully curved, copper door handle can be seen. On the right, a piece of a wall can just be seen.

Dried Leaves ©2025 Jeffrey Gershom - Grand Island, NE; December 2021; Canon 5D Mark II w/EF 24-70mm f/4L Macro setting; an old Bogen 3001 tripod was also used. A black and white photograph of two dried leaves. The black background gives contrast to the main subject. The leaves themselves were a faded yellow color, darkened by being naturally dried. It's sad that the life span of leaves are seasonal...so short.

'Löchrig'

🇩🇪 Sage mir, Fenster. Über das Licht, das du hereinließest und ausstrahlte. Sage mir, was du gesehen hast, innen und außen. Sage mir...

🇬🇧 Tell me, window. About the light you let in, and radiated out. Tell me, what you saw, inside and out. Tell me...

#FotoVorschlag #Photography #Samos
A standing photo of a wall in a dilapidated house. The white stucco wall has discolored, is peeling, and has cracks. In the middle is a tall, wooden window. The dark wood is unpainted and weathered, and there is no glass left. Through the sills, one can see the green of the trees on the opposite hill. The photo was taken on the Greek island of Samos, near a chapel in the hamlet of Valeondades.

Good morning Bluesky. Right from the mouth of a red wing blackbird. Such an amazing shot.

Photographer Kathrin Swoboda captured amazing images of a red wing blackbird's song, visible via the bird's breath in cold air and early light #WomensArt

Once, over 2,500 years ago, a Greek sculptor studied the face of a woman. Through him, she still looks at us... Forever. (Archeological Museum, Vathy)

#Photography #PhotoHour #thewildimages #Samos #Greece
A standing photo of a picture of a woman's face. It is made of a sand-colored type of stone, and is damaged here and there. It is one of many expressive carved female faces found in the Archaeological Museum in Vathy (island of Samos, Greece).

'Herbst (Typisch)'

🇩🇪 Einst hingest du hoch oben, unsichtbar. Jetzt liegst du hier. In stiller Schönheit. Sogar Kristalle schmücken dich...

🇬🇧 Once you hung high above, invisible. Now you lie here. In quiet beauty. Even crystals adorn you...

#FotoVorschlag #Photography #PhotoHour #thewildimages
A photo of fallen leaves lying on the ground. An oval-shaped leaf is fully visible on the left side. Only parts of the other leaves are visible. They have typical autumn colors, ranging from bronze, through light brown to dark brown. Due to frost, crystals have formed on the leaves.

Eine Gruppe kleiner, orangefarbener Pilze wächst am Boden eines Waldes neben einem alten, verwitterten Baumstumpf. Die Pilze sind dicht beieinander und haben runde, glatte Hüte. Im Hintergrund ist unscharfes Grün zu sehen. Neben den Pilzen steht ein dünner, brauner Zweig mit einigen vertrockneten Blättern.

'Graffiti'

D - Wie kan man hässliche grosse Steine von einem Seedeich aufhellen? Genau, so.

E - How do you brighten up ugly large Stones on a sea wall? Like this, then.

#FotoVorschlag #Photography #PhotoHour #Greece #Samos #thewildimages
A photo of a large stone which is part of a lowe sea wall. The stone has been brightened up with colorful paintings, probably by children. Among other things, birds, a boot with a red keel, a mermaid with a red tail, house, and the blue of the see. Photographed in Agios Konstantinos on the norah coaster of Samos (Greece).
